CR
Prints all received data and the column counter is set to the left margin.
(IBM,EPSON)
ASCII Code CR
Hexadecimal Value 0D
Decimal Value 13
This code is a terminator code; when received, it causes any data in the buffer to be
printed out. The print head then moves logically to the left margin position. The
column counter is set to the left margin value and a line feed is inserted automatically
after the carriage return (see the automatic carriage return function in the printer
setup). The code resets the double width printing set by SO code.
10
ESC ]
Sets a reverse line feed. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC ]
Hexadecimal Value 1B 5D
Decimal Value 27 93
This code is a terminator code; when received, it causes the current contents of the
print buffer to be printed out, before reversing the paper by one line at the current
vertical spacing. If no data precedes this command or if the preceding data consists of
spaces, the code causes only a reverse line feed to be performed. When the line counter
is equal to or less than the top of the form value, the ESC ] is ignored.
ESC 5
Sets an automatic line feed after a carriage return. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC 5
n
Hexadecimal Value 1B 35
n
Decimal Value 27 53
n
If n is equal to 1, this command sets an automatic line feed on receiving of a CR code.
If n is equal to 0, this command cancels the automatic line feed.

ASCII Code ESC J
n

Decimal Value 27 74
n
Range 0 <
n
< 255
This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to
be printed out before performing a single line LF of n/180 inch. This command is
cancelled after the LF has been performed. The printing will restart after a line feed
from the column at which the command was sent.
LF
Line Feed. (IBM, EPSON)
ASCII Code LF
Hexadecimal Value 0A
Decimal Value
10
This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to
be printed out before advancing the paper by one line at the current vertical spacing.
If no data precedes the LF code, or if the preceding data consists of spaces, the code
causes only a line feed.
When the line counter reaches the last line of the form (defined by software or function
menu), the LF code causes a skip to the first line of the next form or ejects a cut sheet,
if loaded. This code cancels the double width printing set by the SO code. In IBM
mode, the column counter is set to the first column if the automatic carriage return is
selected. In EPSON mode, the column is always set to the first column.

This command specifies the distance from the left margin where you want to print
subsequent characters. The default unit is 1/60 inch. The distance is in number of dots
and must be calculated using the following formula:
Margin distance = n
1
+ (n
2
x 256) x 1/60” + (left margin)
Where n
2
is equal to:
1
[(horizontal position) – (left margin position)]

Where n

This command sets the page length in the specified number of units (the default unit
is 1/360 inch), previously defined with the ESC ( U command according to the
following formula:
Page length = ((d
2
x 256) + d
1
) x (defined unit)
Where d

256
Set the page length before paper is loaded or when the print position is at the top-of-
form position. Otherwise, the current print position becomes the top-of-form position.
Setting the page length cancels the top and bottom-margin settings. If the defined unit
is changed it does not affect the current page-length setting.

This command sets the top and bottom margins in the defined units, set with the ESC
( U command, according to the following formulas:
Top margin = ((t

) x (defined unit)
Where t

Send this command before paper is loaded or when paper is at the top-of-form position.
Otherwise the current print position becomes the top-margin position. Measure both
top and bottom margins from the top edge of the page. The baseline for printing
characters on the first line is 20/180 inch below the top-margin position.
This command cancels any previous top and bottom-margin settings.
